Answer : 2. "Specific heat"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Specific heat Explanation: The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water. What is the cause of a sea breeze? The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

Answer : 4. "17/20"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 17/20 Explanation: n(S) = 20n(Even no) = 10 = n(E)n(Prime no) = 8 = n(P)P(E U P) = 10/20 + 8/20 - 1/20 = 17/20

Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply : Pattern of Series 1 : 6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90 Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ?? Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36. For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Answer : 1. "14/33"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 14/33 Explanation: Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12. Let S be the sample space. Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12 = 12×11/2×1 = 66 Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs. => 8C2 = 8×7/2×1 = 28 Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.

Answer : 2. "8"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 8 Explanation: The easiest way would measure it through half a liter water bottle. There are approximately 16.9 ounces(oz) of water in a 500ml water bottle. Gallon is an imperial customary volume unit for the U.S. As we have previously mentioned, the 16.9oz bottle is also known as 500ml in the metric system. According to U.S. standard, 1 gallon stands for 128 fluid oz. Hence, Number of bottles in 1 gallon = 128/16.9 = 7.57 =~ 8.
